Homma Museum of Art

The Homma Museum features a villa from 1813, traditional strolling garden, central pond and network of walking trails connecting various exhibition spaces.

Built initially as a holiday residence for the Homma family during the Edo period, the villa later served as lodging for feudal lords during territorial inspections.

The museum displays rotating exhibitions of Japanese artifacts, including prints, ceramics, paintings, and traditional dolls representing different historical periods of Japan.

Located five minutes from JR Sakata Station, the museum opens from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with modified winter hours and closure on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

The adjacent Kakubuen garden was constructed to provide employment for local dockworkers who faced job scarcity during winter months.
